is Philosophy brand cruelty free?

[angelene17]

I've been searching the internet, yet I cannot find a solid answer on whether or not Philosophy products are cruelty free. Does anyone here know?

Interesting. if they are using materials that were once tested on animals, although it not thier own lab, is that still cruelty free?

"philosophy does not test our finished goods on anything other than a human being. however, please be aware that over the years, certain raw ingredients common to the cosmetics industry have been tested on animals, by laboratories other than ours, and for that we are truly sorry."


Well, when you come to think of it... just about every raw ingredient out there has been tested on an animal by SOMEONE. Since they do not test on animals themselves, I personally don't have a problem with using their products.

I can't give up my raspberry sorbet body wash. mmmm...

By "cruelty free" do you mean just animal testing? What about the ingrediants?

[angelene17]

animal testing. I know that the body wash that I use from them doesn't have any animal products in it. That's really the only philosophy product I use, so I don't know about the rest of them.
